Priceless role of Finishers in Playoff's

Image
 After exciting and grueling encounters we finally have 4 teams to compete in the Qualifiers and Eliminator, Only 2 will Qualify to play the Big Final. As your aware the teams are as Follows: Mumbai Indians ( Qualifier1) Delhi Capitals (Qualifier 1) Sunrisers Hyderabad (eliminator) Royal challengers Bangalore ( eliminator)  No as your aware finishing in the Top 2 means that even though you loose in the Qualifier1, you are still battling it out in Qualifier2 with a second chance to get to the BIG FINALE. Role of Finisher in T20 is priceless, especially in a Pressure game it can be even more critical & it can easily impact the difference between the 2 teams.

League standings post Match23 in #ipl2020

IPL 2020 Acceleration vs. Fall of wickets. in Week1

Image
With #IPL 2020 which has resumed different teams have different Squad balances, while there is a pattern observed in how teams have accelerated and which points of their innings they have lost wickets. In 2020 Edition within first week teams were accelerating towards latter half of the innings by holding wickets in Hand. Not much of attacking was happening in the Batting powerplay in the First 6 overs. In IPL 2019 Teams used a go hard in Powerplay approach, which means the wickets fell evenly across the innings, there were some high scoring successful run chases while this year, chasing teams so far have been struggling. Ironically though captains are opting to chase after winning the toss.
